Chapter 303: Negative Hot Search

Ji Xiaoling had just finished arranging an all-platform smear campaign, a smile playing at the corners of her mouth as she watched the several negative Hot Search topics she had set up steadily climb.

She somewhat regretted not entering this circle sooner!

The money in this circle was simply too easy to earn!

Just arranging for some people to meet and playing middleman was a large sum of money. Her circle was different, so naturally she could obtain some genuine dirt. Relying on this dirt, she even kept a stable of professional entertainment industry smear accounts.

During this period, the income from the entertainment industry smear accounts matched her family company's quarterly profit!

And that was merely traffic fees. To buy out scandalous material, the money those celebrities paid under the table didn't need to go through taxes at all — the pure income was astonishingly huge!

Ji Xiaoling was somewhat jealous! Why was Ji Yan so lucky? Having a good background was one thing, but even the circle she entered after growing up was this lucrative?!

She hadn't even had time to gloat over the fact that the man Ji Yan married was just a useless heir with no inheritance rights and her daughter was mentally ill trash, before her own fiancé got involved with some third-rate minor celebrity!

These two actually dared to cheat on her — they would have to bear her fury!

#Zheng Yuerong's Patron#, #Zheng Yuerong's Plastic Surgery#, #Zheng Yuerong Knows She's the Other Woman and Does It Anyway#...

The Hot Search topics kept climbing, and netizens had their worldviews refreshed! The first two both had videos, while the third was an audio recording.

In the recording, both people's voices were very clear. Zheng Yuerong's Agent made things very explicit, but Zheng Yuerong insisted on her own views, knowing she was the other woman and doing it anyway.

Zheng Yuerong, resting at home to lie low, saw the Hot Search topics and directly smashed her phone!

"Ah!"

"Where is she?"

"Where did the recording come from?"

"Bastards!"

Zheng Yuerong went mad, smashing everything in the house that could be smashed!

Those three most explosive Hot Search topics nailed her completely! The subsequent Hot Search topics about her throwing her weight around and bullying newcomers were probably a coordinated double-team between her company and the mastermind behind the scenes, the goal being to make her pay a massive breach-of-contract penalty!

She was finished!

She had worked so hard for so long, and everything she had earned was about to be gone!

"Ring! Ring! Ring!"

Zheng Yuerong ignored the doorbell, venting her frustration to her heart's content.

The assistant took it upon herself to open the door. "Sis, sis, the company wants you to come in for a meeting."

"Get out!"

Zheng Yuerong hurled the throw pillow in her hands over.

The assistant quickly dodged. She went outside the door, made a phone call, and hung up shortly after.

"Sis, the company says you should calm down first. Once this period passes, things will be fine!"

After the Agent's recording was exposed, the entire company building was working overtime! All Agents and artists were called back to the company to cooperate with questioning and inspection.

This matter was actually Zheng Yuerong's own fault. After her romance with Qi Yinghao was exposed last time, not only did she give it the cold treatment, she also fell out with her Agent.

The Agent resigned in a fit of anger, and Zheng Yuerong even used her own connections to help the Agent quickly complete the departure procedures — truly shooting herself in the foot!

Hearing the assistant's words, Zheng Yuerong's emotions eased somewhat.

The assistant seized the opportunity to say, "Sis, someone is obviously targeting you. Why don't you make a gesture?"

Zheng Yuerong sat on the messy sofa, knowing full well that the assistant was just a mouthpiece and the people behind her were the company's upper management. "What kind of gesture?"

"Sis, they're slandering you — they want your life!"

Zheng Yuerong's pupils shrank. "I'll die!"

"Sis, it's just cutting your wrists. We've already arranged the best surgeon. Your hand will be fine!"

……

At the Qi family residence, Qi Yinghao had been notified by his eldest brother to go abroad, and he felt absolutely awful about it!

In any city in the country, as long as the Qi family didn't fall, he was the man! Going abroad, relying only on this bit of family dividends, what could he do? He couldn't do anything — he might even have to work a job just to live a normal life!

That lunatic Ji Xiaoling not only ignored his words but also took action against him!

Right before boarding the plane, Qi Yinghao's blood rushed to his head, and he posted a blog post.

【Qi Yinghao: The woman born from the one who drugged my sister-in-law is indeed no good — a whole family of poisonous women!】

At the same time, #Zheng Yuerong Slits Her Wrists in Suicide# was similarly bought onto Hot Search. As Zheng Yuerong's rumored boyfriend and one of the parties involved in this gossip, Qi Yinghao's blog post was also linked to Zheng Yuerong-related topics.

The number of comments on Qi Yinghao's blog post shot upward!

Ji Xiaoling's eyes nearly split with rage. "Trash! Send those things to the Qi family!"

The Qi family received the materials Ji Xiaoling transmitted and was also calling Qi Yinghao's phone. But he had already boarded the plane!

The Qi family had no choice but to temporarily use their own influence to have Qi Yinghao's account suspended.

Not suspending it would have made netizens less fired up, but after the suspension, netizens felt it was all true!

Zheng Yuerong's company began using her diva incident to whitewash her, attempting to use a minor matter to gloss over the grave mistake Zheng Yuerong had committed.

But right at this moment, one of Zheng Yuerong's "fans" dug up an announcement that Zheng Yuerong had participated in a civil service exam and was about to be hired.

Netizens who had just been pacified by a combination of online maneuvers, who felt Zheng Yuerong was innocent and were about to apologize, instantly exploded!

How hard was it to pass the civil service exam!

Especially for arts students with few available positions!

She was already a celebrity, having earned money that many people couldn't make in several lifetimes — why did she still need to snatch positions meant for ordinary people?

Netizens frantically called the reporting hotline, and Zheng Yuerong along with another male celebrity who had done the same thing were publicly mocked online!

That male celebrity's family influence was much stronger than Zheng Yuerong's! Their people pushed Zheng Yuerong's Hot Search topics back up, warned Zheng Yuerong's company, and the company unilaterally decided to terminate Zheng Yuerong's contract!

Zheng Yuerong, completely unaware of everything, passed out from excessive blood loss. Carrying the beautiful fantasy that when she woke up again, she would be pitied by countless people, she slept until the afternoon of the next day.

"Water!"

Zheng Yuerong licked her lips. What was going on? Why was no one taking care of her? Where had the assistant gone?

Zheng Yu Rong had a bad premonition. Moreover, wasn't she supposed to stay in a single room? How did she end up in a triple?

She turned, and the aunt next door raised her phone at her, making the premonition come true. A swarm of reporters rushed into the ward, brandishing cameras and microphones, every word stabbing her heart!

"Miss Zheng, the company has announced termination of your contract, what do you think?"

"Miss Zheng, are you a mistress for work?"

"Miss Zheng…"

Zheng Yu Rong was so provoked that she fainted on the spot. The reporters were driven out by security that arrived later.

The reporters lingered outside the hospital refusing to leave; for the safety of other patients, the hospital moved Zheng Yu Rong to a single room.

Zheng Yu Rong woke again, panic rising in her heart! She wanted to leave, but she couldn't on her own. In the end she persuaded the Doctor and nurses here by paying the fees, and they helped her get out to a small nest she rarely visited.

After pulling out a spare phone and paying, Zheng Yu Rong ignored the nurse who slammed the door, and hurried with her important belongings up to the upstairs house.

She quietly leaned at the doorway, listening to the sounds outside.

"Dong dong!"

"Miss Zheng!"

"Miss Zheng Yu Rong!"

Hearing the knocking from below, Zheng Yu Rong's hanging heart finally stopped!

She entered the room, locked the door, cutting off the outside clamor. She trembled all over, curled up on the bed, contemplating her future.

Only when she could no longer bear the feeling of hunger did she get up to look for food in the room.

In the end, she found only a pack of cereal about to expire.

At a time like this, she didn't dare to order delivery; she could only make do by boiling water to soak the cereal.

After filling her stomach, Zheng Yu Rong finally gathered the courage to open her phone and check the news online.

She directly searched her name in the browser; various big and small tabloids and low‑grade media were reporting on her. The company, trying to squeeze the last ounce of value from her, even had the assistant lie, saying the suicide idea was hers!

Now she feels like a mouse tied in the center of a square, waiting for everyone to smash it!

She is so angry!

At that moment, her phone rang! Seeing the familiar number, she felt a little nervous, but she answered anyway!

"Hello? Really?"

"Fine, if you lie to me, I die, and you won't get away clean!"

Zheng Yu Rong didn't expect the previous sponsor to show up. Thinking of Ji Xiaoling, who made her become like this, she wanted to sprint to the sponsor's meeting place and rant!

Ji Xiaoling wants any man, and insists on snatching Qi Yinghao? She never said she refused to be a second wife, yet Ji Xiaoling asks to wipe them out without asking! Qi Yinghao is also a useless guy, who silently fled abroad!

Besides helping her attract hatred, he is good for nothing!

Zheng Yu Rong prepared a second‑hand plan, waiting for the ex‑sponsor's people to come to the door.

"Are you sure we can get out?"

The two women who came in said nothing, took out the items from their bags one by one, then gave Zheng Yu Rong a disguise.

Zheng Yu Rong looked at herself in the mirror with surprise. Under the effect of various props her body had become a bit stout, and her face bore small pimples and spots, making her overall look plain and unremarkable!

Zheng Yu Rong followed the two women, swaggering down the stairs. Those reporters were still crouched in the hallway, probably waiting for her to exit.

Reaching the ground floor, Zheng Yu Rong's eyes flicked, "I want to go back to my usual place to fetch something!"

She remembered her home had a surveillance system, which the assistant didn't know! Her phone was also broken, but the SIM card inside wasn't. She tossed the things into a mess; the phone wasn't in the living room, so the assistant might not know its location!

The two women pressed the earpieces, reported to someone, and drove Zheng Yu Rong back to her original house.

Zheng Yu Rong went up, packed up her valuables, and returned to the car with a bunch of stuff and the SIM card.

After arriving at the destination, Zheng Yu Rong had already organized all the videos she wanted!

#ZhengYuRongLive# was quickly pushed onto the Hot Search.

……

She sent the data to the Qi family, threatening them to act; Ji Xiaoling was somewhat satisfied seeing the Qi family's moves!

Just a performer who can't see his own identity dares to challenge her? That cowardly Qi Yinghao, once he gets off the plane, will pay for his impulse!

Ji Xiaoling was admiring Zheng Yu Rong's futile struggle when she was slapped by the person who burst in.

"You're trying to kill me!"

Having been slapped crookedly, Ji Xiaoling accidentally hit the table, loosening her teeth, and tearfully stared at her mother, "Mom, what are you doing?"

"How dare you ask me what I'm doing? Why can't you shut Qi Yinghao's mouth? Do you know you've killed me? The old man is already on his way home; he knows that will definitely cause my divorce from your father!"

Xiao Fang spoke while rummaging through Ji Xiaoling's room.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Ji Xiaoling had just gotten used to her loosened teeth and hadn't had time to complain when she saw her mother swiftly snatch the valuable items from her room.

"What? Of course I ran!"

Ji Xiaoling tried to stop Xiao Fang, but Xiao Fang pushed her hard, causing her to fall to the ground and faint on the spot.

Ji Shouguo returned to see the chaotic room and his granddaughter lying on the floor!

"Scoundrel! I've long said you should divorce; she's unfit for you, look at the scoundrel's good deeds!"

Ji Shouguo was both angry and furious; that's all money!

That scoundrel's eldest daughter‑in‑law took the valuable things Ji Xiaoling had placed there and rolled them away!

Ji Tianci hung his head, not daring to speak. The company was near collapse; his wife's fleeing now was also his order. They divorced yesterday; after learning today what happened online, he let Xiao Fang take the items to a small county town for refuge.

The second family also heard rumors about Xiao Fang. They returned home, listening to Ji Shouguo's angry scolding, watching the silent Ji Tianci, and felt something was off!

Ji Xiaoling woke up, finding herself still lying on the ground, with a share‑transfer agreement in hand. The contract stated that her grandfather's and father's company shares were all transferred to her.

This was what she had long hoped for, yet she felt not a bit happy now!

"Ding ding ding~"

Ji Xiaoling's whole body ached as she opened the external broadcast, "Miss, the company has gone bankrupt!"

"What did you say?!"

Ji Xiaoling's scream rang through the entire villa, and Ji Shouguo and the others hurried upstairs. As soon as they arrived, they heard terrible news!

"The company has already gone bankrupt!"

The Ji Family could not accept the news! Ji Shouguo fainted from anger on the spot. Ji Tianci pretended to faint, Ji Xiaoling looked up and was knocked unconscious by the table, and the remaining second‑son's family, half dead with anger, still had to clean up the mess and take them to the hospital!

Ji Xiaoling's faint lasted until the next day. After she woke up, the subordinate's report on the results of dealing with Zheng Yu Rong could not make her happy.

"Why did the company go bankrupt? Ah?"

The company's profit was indeed low, but it was still profitable! With this company and the black material she held, they would eventually become rich!

Now the company is gone!

The company actually disappeared!

The subordinate recounted the whole matter verbatim. It was said that her mother had advanced a large sum of money, causing the company's cash flow to break; after the general manager decisively applied for bankruptcy protection, Ji Xiaoling literally spat blood!

Without the company, the partners they had originally negotiated with are likely to go sour!

"Quick, now, immediately, go register a new company, make it a new media company!"

The subordinate lowered his head, "Miss, I'm afraid it's too late; we cannot move your assets right now."

"Why?"

Ji Xiaoling was shocked!

"You are now the company's largest shareholder, and all your assets have been frozen. Only after the higher‑ups finish the liquidation can you use your savings!"

"When will I…"

Ji Xiaoling thought of that contract, quickly got up, "Where's my dad? Take me to find him! I need to find him!"
